	<strong>How to Manage the Master Schedule</strong>
<p>
	The Master Schedule has two parts: one for the <b>house</b> and one for
	the <b>family room</b>. The examples below show how to work with the <b>house</b>
	master schedule. However, the same steps can be followed when working
	with the <b>family room</b> master schedule.
<p>
	<B>Step 1:</B> On the navigation bar, select <B>master schedule: house</B>
	and you will see seven tables. The first two tables show the persons
	scheduled for weekdays (Mon - Fri) on odd weeks (<strong>Group One</strong>)
	and even weeks (<strong>Group Two</strong>) of the year. The other five
	tables show the persons scheduled to work on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,
	and 5th weekends of a month. <br>Here is a sample <strong>Group One</strong>
	table with a few fictitious persons scheduled (ignore the <font
		color="#FF0000">red</font> circle for the moment): <br>

	<br> Here is a sample <strong>Weekend Group 1</strong> table: <br>
	<br>

		align="middle">
	</a> <br>
	<br> A "shift" is shown as a box associated with a particular day
	(e.g., Thursday) and time slot (e.g., 12-3). If a shift has vacancies,
	the number of vacancies is shown in <strong>boldface</strong>. For
	example, the Thursday 12-3 shift has one vacancy in the sample <strong>Group
		One</strong> table shown above.
<p>
	<B>Step 2:</B> If you want to fill a vacancy for a shift, you must
	first select that shift on one of these seven tables. <br>For example,
	suppose you want to add a person to fill the vacancy on the <strong>Group
		One</strong> Thursday 12-3 shift. To do this, you first select that
	shift on the <strong>Group One</strong> table, as shown by the <font
		color="#FF0000">red</font> circle in <strong>Step 1</strong>. <br>
<p>
	<B>Step 3:</B> Now you will see a shift worksheet for <strong>Group One</strong>
	Thursday 12-3.<br> You can find out who's available by selecting <strong>Assign
		Volunteer</strong>, like this: <br>
	<br> <a href="tutorial/screenshots/scheduling3.gif" class="image"
		title="addPersonStep2.png"> <img
		src="tutorial/screenshots/scheduling3.gif" width="10%" border="1px"
		align="middle">
	</a>
<p>
	<B>Step 4:</B> This will give you a list of all volunteers who have
	Thursday 12-3 availability, like this: <br>
	<br> <a href="tutorial/screenshots/scheduling4.gif" class="image"
		title="addPersonStep2.png"> <img
		src="tutorial/screenshots/scheduling4.gif" width="10%" border="1px"
		align="middle">
	</a>
<p>
	<B>Step 5:</B> Now you can select, say, Barbara Jones to fill that
	shift and then select <strong>Add Volunteer</strong>, like this: <br>
	<br> <a href="tutorial/screenshots/scheduling5.gif" class="image"
		title="addPersonStep3.png"> <img
		src="tutorial/screenshots/scheduling5.gif" width="10%" border="1px"
		align="middle">
	</a> <br>
	<br> You have now successfully added Barbara Jones to the <strong>Group
		One</strong> Thursday 12-3 shift.
<p>
	<B>Step 6:</B> To confirm this addition, select <strong>Back to Shift</strong>
	and you should see both Ann Jones and Barbara Jones on this shift: <br>
	<br> <a href="tutorial/screenshots/scheduling6.gif" class="image"
		title="addPersonStep4.png" horizontalalign="center"> <img
		src="tutorial/screenshots/scheduling6.gif" width="10%" border="1px"
		align="middle">
	</a> <br>
	<br> Selecting <strong>Back to Master Schedule</strong> will also show
	both Ann Jones and Barbara Jones on this shift on the Master Schedule:
	<br>
	<br> <a href="tutorial/screenshots/scheduling7.gif" class="image"
		title="addPersonStep4.png" horizontalalign="center"> <img
		src="tutorial/screenshots/scheduling7.gif" width="10%" border="1px"
		align="middle">
	</a>
<p>
	<B>Step 7:</B> Three other important <strong>Master Schedule</strong>
	functions are also available. From any shift, you can either remove a
	person, add a new slot, or remove a vacant slot.
<ul>
	<li>To remove a person from a shift, select <strong>Remove
			Person/Create Vacancy</strong> on the worksheet shown in <B>Step 3</B>.
	
	
	<li>To add a new slot to a shift, select <strong>Add Slot</strong> on
		the worksheet shown in <B>Step 3</B>.
	
	<li>To remove a vacant slot from a shift, select <strong>Ignore Vacancy</strong>
		on the worksheet shown in <B>Step 3</B>.

</ul>
<p>
	Suppose that, instead of filling the vacant slot, you decide that Ann
	Jones can handle the Thursday 12-3 shift alone. Then you can remove the
	vacant slot by selecting <strong>Remove Vacant Slot</strong>, which
	leaves this: <br> <br> <a href="tutorial/screenshots/scheduling8.gif"

	</a>
<p>
	<B>Step 8:</B> When you finish, you can return to any other function by
	selecting it on the navigation bar.
